{"value"=>"<p>The Secretary of the Lenox Library was responsible for keeping the Minutes of the Board of Trustees and for general correspondence. Aaron B. Belknap, the first Secretary of the Lenox Library served from 1870-1876, when he became Treasurer. George H. Moore, Superintendent of the Library in 1872, succeeded Belknap and held both offices until his death in 1892. Alexander Maitland was the last Secretary, serving from 1892 until consolidation in 1895, when he became a Trustee of the New York Public Library.</p> <p>The bulk of this collection fall into the years 1893-1895. This is due to the fact that G. H. Moore was both Superintendent and Secretary from 1876-1892 and consequently most of his Secretarial records are among the Superintendent's. The collection has been arranged by incumbent.</p>"}
